Salvation through Born Again
160
works of flesh written in the word
of God.
17 Because - O Presidents and
Prime Ministers, consider my
words genuinely. What is a man
profits he gains the whole world
(name and fame; riches and
wealth) and letting his soul into
the lake of fire? I ask now the
same question the Lord asked
earlier on behalf of the Lord.
18 You are made the Presidents
and the Prime Ministers, by the
compassion and mercy of God.
He turned the minds of the peo-
ple for you to win the elections,
19 as said that He gives it to
whomever He will, and He puts
down one, and exalts another -
God appointed you as a Prime
person in your country.
20 Can you say it is not God’s
mercy for your appointed pos-
ition? You cannot. Because I
know, that you believe in God.
You want through that to know
where He is, how He is;
21-22 but you are being dragged
in the world tradition. You few
leaders are fulfilling the law of the
Lord i.e. whoever desires to be-
come great among you, let him
be your servant. You must mingle
The Salvation is the Gift of God
with peoples’ troubles and their
problems, and serving the peo-
ple day and night.
23 You love the people more
than your families and your
own life, being imprinted in the
minds and hearts of the people
by your good governance.
However, some are making
people burden to those who
elected them and breaking the
people’s backs.
24 You are serving the people
without eating and drinking,
and working for the needs of
people without your knowing
according to the will of God.
But what does it profit? Beca-
use - if you are not Born Again
and remain in your sins, you will
be tormented in the lake of fire
and brimstone forever and
ever,
25 but if you are Born Again,
doing all things according to the
will of God, not involved in sin-
ful works, what I said before,
accepting the scriptural gospel,
Born Again according to scri-
ptures, repented according the
word of God,
26 built on the foundation of
the word of God, enter into the

glory (death), then God would
honor you before His angels in
heaven for every good deed you
did on the earth
27 and make you sit on His
throne which the angels do not
have this privilege. Because He
promised that - to him who
overcomes I will grant to sit with
Me on My throne.
II 28 So, you presidents and
prime ministers of various count-
ries, you consider this genuinely.
What will profit you if you gain
name, fame, riches on this earth
and lose the eternal life, which
God gave you freely? Now I
write this with a burden for your
spirit salvation.
29 But one thing! There are
many things, which obstruct you
from knowing about the eternal
life, New Birth, and scriptural
gospel.
30 You may say - O disciple of
Christ, do we not have time to
listen to your words? We rise up
early and so up late for the busy-
ness of our works to set things
right for our people and country.
Then where do we do all that you
have said?
31 II Then let me tell you a par-
The Salvation is the Gift of God
able. The heaven is like a Mas-
ter who planted a seed of wheat
in his field thinking it would
serve his needs.
32 And the emperors, kings,
presidents and prime ministers
are like a banyan tree which the
Master’s hireling who planted it
with his Master’s permission.
33 As the days pass by, both
these trees have grown up and
prospered. The Master spent
his money for the growth of the
wheat tree.
34-35 The hireling as well spent
his Master’s money for the
growth of the banyan tree.
36 After many more days, the
banyan tree greatly spread its
branches and filled its hanging
roots throughout the land, and
covered the Master’s wheat
plant and exalted above it.
37 The banyan t ree was
boasting above the wheat plant
saying - o wheat plant, look at
yourself, your ten leaves are not
equal to one reed of mine. And
you bore only four to five fruits.
38 But I, prevailed up to the
sky, and my branches are like
the sun and the moon which
God hanged on firmament. My
